A New Deal for Northern Ontario

After years of Liberal and Conservative governments in Ottawa, families in Northern Ontario are feeling more squeezed than ever.Life is getting harder. Family bills – from housing and medication; to cell phone and hydro to childcare and tuition – are getting more and more expensive.Liberal and Conservative neglect has meant that industries that were once the backbone of our communities are now struggling. Ottawa and Queen’s Park are cutting services that your family relies on.

In Indigenous communities, the federal government is continuing to underfund schools and services, leaving kids to grow up without getting a fair shot in life. And on top of all this, our region is becoming one of Canada’s frontlines in the battle against climate change – a fight that Liberal and Conservative government’s aren’t ready for. Liberals and Conservatives have rigged things against you.
They are working for big corporations and their friends at the top – and the prime minister’s door is always open for well-connected lobbyists. But Justin Trudeau sure isn’t working to help everyday people here in Northern Ontario. And Andrew Scheer certainly isn’t the answer. He’ll pretend to help, but we know what Conservatives really do: cut taxes for the rich and cut services for everybody else.
That’s what Harper did. That’s what Ford is doing. That’s what Conservatives always do. It doesn’t have to be this way. Jagmeet Singh and the New Democrats are different. We have a New Deal for Northern Ontario that puts hard-working Canadians first – and makes life better and more affordable for families, students and seniors.
We’ll take on Liberal and Conservative underinvestment in the North and create thousands of good green jobs, get our local industries ready for the future, and restore vital transportation services that have been cut. We’ll work towards true reconciliation by finally bringing in a new relationship with Indigenous peoples based on respect, appropriate funding for services, and righting historic wrongs. You can count on Northern Ontario New Democrats to be on your side – because we’re in it for you.
